What gives us comfort and hope when we are in distress? According to Psalm 77, it is the past (vv. 5, 11-12). As he remembered God’s ways in the past, his acts recorded in the books of Moses (vv. 13-20), his faith was strengthened and he appealed to the Lord for help while he was in distress (vv. 1-2, 10).

Are you struggling with a need in your life? Reading the scriptures and considering how God has worked in the past may be the very thing you need to strengthen your faith and bring boldness to your prayer life.
